Dear Diary

I am told this is in fact going on in every country all round the world. Which I guess gives me some comfort in the fact that it is not just me!

I have also noticed that stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are heavier. And, everything is farther away.

Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become!

I am noticing more and more that people are less considerate now too, especially the young ones. They all speak so softly, and darn it, they 'mumble'. Parents should teach their kids, oh and remember this themselves - SPEAK UP FOR HEAVENS SAKE, the rest of us are not lip readers!

I also think young people are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, I can't help noticing that people my own age are so much older than I am. When I ran in to Joyce, an old friend, the other day, oh my she had aged so much that she didn't even recognize me.

I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, when I glanced at my own reflection well, Yeeee Gads!! - REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they used to be!

It seems to me that there are a lot of people around today who continue to drive way too close to me, I can see them in my rear view mirror, right up close and for heavens sake...WHY WAVE AT ME? - Do they really think I am going to wave back to a perfect stranger?

Clothing manufacturers are losing the plot these days as well. I mean what sort of people are they employing...perhaps they are illiterate, I mean why else would they be labeling size 10 or 12 dresses as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices?

The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank. Do they think I actually 'believe' the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?

Also something has happened to my computer's fonts - they are smaller than they once were, as are the keys on my keyboard.

I'd like to call someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the phone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed phone books in such small type that you can barely see the names and numbers in there!

Anyway, I will close off this entry now because I am late for my Senior Cits Weekly Club Luncheon, it is at...oh my! ....See now there's another thing, people keep forgetting to tell me things, like where we are going.
